Sex?!?

What is wrong with liking sex?? All kinds of sex? I hate that double standard that men can go stick it anything that moves and they are so damn cool but if a girl wants to just do random sex shes a skank. WHY!!! what makes it so damn freaking different. You can get stds the same freakin way so why are girls skanky and guys free to do what they please?

Hell yeah! Sex! I went through a time about 5 years ago that was pretty risque - my appetite was voracious - I'm really lucky to still be alive with some of the risky stuff I pulled. But today? Not so much. My libido is nil and I'm not sure if its meds or what. So I'm envious of women in touch with their sex drive. If there was a female viagra - sign me up!

If I can ask a Question.....

Is all this "sex any way you want it" happening during Manic phases? If it is, it doesn't just come off as a girl enjoying frequent sex...

I agree with OlderCper but all in all if you are not manic there is nothing wrong with it but just be careful with the diseases and dont let anyone define you what you think of you only matters LOL Jan sis

Please don't stereotype men like that.

I think the whole Trump thing indicates that cultural norms are changing although there is still some way to go.

I'd say that having random sex isn't healthy or particularly safe for anyone, man or woman, straight or gay.

I don't stereotype all men like that because then if all men thought that way there would be no random sex right?? Its not in manic phases. It is just someone who enjoys sex though there is probably some background to my behavior that I should and could deal with. I was just frustrated yesterday! Thank you for all of your support!! and Opinions definitely things to consider!

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...
